This cobb salad is everything you would want it to be with eggs, bacon, chicken, avocado and more over a bed of lettuce. Use your favorite salad dressing or make the maple mustard dressing, it is simple and delicious.
Combine 3 Tablespoons olive oil, 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon maple syrup, and salt and pepper to taste in a small jar and shake well until emulsified.
Wash and chop 6 cups romaine lettuce. Arrange on a large oval serving platter or in a salad bowl to create a fresh green base.
Arrange toppings in neat rows across the lettuce: 4 slices bacon (crumbled), 2 eggs (cut into quarters), 1 avocado (sliced), 1 cup cherry tomatoes, and ⅓ cup blue cheese crumbles.
Drizzle dressing over the salad just before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped chives if desired.
Notes
If prepping in advance, keep everything stored separately in the fridge. Don’t slice the avocado, assemble or dress the salad until right before serving.
It’s best to store leftover salad undressed so it doesn’t wilt, but if you’ve already dressed it, store in an airtight container in the fridge and eat the next day.
Undressed salad will keep for 3-4 days. Extra dressing will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week.
